Do we need to start worrying about them tearing down that cool Art-Deco building they just renovated; Beracha Hall, I think it is?

Post dispatch has a map of the sites. I can see it for a second, but I'm not able to save it since its behind their pay wall.

Not when you're battling horrible cell reception on your phone! 
I believe Presbyterian has it posted on twitter now.

Wow, that's great! Will add density by taking up a parking lot and a unused space with grass. Hopefully the design is good.
This is great news. It seems that right now there is something of an arms race in SLU student housing projects:
-West Pine Lofts
-The Standard
-Two new Laclede Ave. SLU dorms
-announced/stalled Lawrence Group conversion of Missouri Theater Building
-rumored 3700 block of Olive project
-rumored 3900 block of West Pine project
Hopefully the arms race continues to escalate (perhaps with a Cortex residential proposal or Midtown Station adopting a mixed-use strategy - both of which could be helped by the future Boyle Metrolink Station).

SLU's new president's most notable accomplishment while at Lemoyne College was the dramatic rise in attendance.
Also Reinart was a two-bed dorm room until about 10 years ago when increased attendance forced them to make that whole building three beds to a room. Hopefully this will allow that to stop

SLU applied this month for zoning approval for 8-story 450-bed residence hall at Laclede & Spring. Early schematic...

Seriously, though, it really does look like a retirement home. And not a very nice one at that.

They're building so much new housing but how much is their student body actually growing? Are they planning to announce a new campus soon...Perhaps something at the Pevely site?
I don't think there are any plans for a new campus. The Pevely site is part of the Medical Center Campus. The new dorms proposed for the Frost (Grand Center) Campus are because SLU wants more of the current student body to live on campus. Right now about 40% are on campus, and they want it to be 50+%.Gateway City wrote:They're building so much new housing but how much is their student body actually growing?

Note that both renderings (this one and the Gries addition) are schematic designs. The schematics were by KWK Architects. A different firm -- Hastings + Chivetta -- is doing the final designs... which we haven't yet seen.

Yeah... the actual design is worse than the schematics. Those green pyramid roofs were on every strip mall built in the 1980s. It looks dated.
Dues Biondi still have a hand in campus building design? Seems like it.framer wrote:&*%@&$#&*%%$@^&*#@$!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. Looks like they're sticking with the Griesedieck Tower playbook, which harkens all the way back to 1963. Boring.Presbyterian wrote:Yeah... the actual design is worse than the schematics. Those green pyramid roofs were on every strip mall built in the 1980s. It looks dated.

Its no Adventura (thank god) now is it a park east tower, for me its not the worst thing in the world but it leaves much to be desired.
